Two levels alert verification technique for smart oil pipeline surveillance system (SOPSS)

Abstract

The paper describes the design and implementation of a remote Smart Oil Pipeline Surveillance System (SOPSS), with the ability to detect and report vandalism activities in the pipeline system before it takes place via SMS, email or by a phone call. The proposed system enriches with a vast range of sensors to increase sensing capability and accuracy. Furthermore, a visual check added to overcome false alarms, where a video camera integrated with the system software to capture video footage and tracking the abnormal events. The results prove that the system can achieve monitoring and reporting in real-time, with a reduction in the utilized data size to reach 97%. This will increase bandwidth efficiency to 96%. In addition, this system small in size, portable and cost-effective. Therefore, the proposed system considered as an efficient technology for different monitoring purposes.
